he always said in interviews if you read the "new york times" going accounts, he'd come to washington, the "washington post" would say "famous indian photographer in town to meet with president and members of the senate." he always said he posed people. he paid people for posing. he asked them what they wanted to wear in their portrait. i think accusation about the posing came later on from people who didn't understand what he was doing. yes, he was a documentarian. it's no different than you or i going to scotland and saying "do you have the kilt your grandfather wore?" and asking the third generation person to wear the kilt. what he was doing was breaking the stereotypes. indians were one dimensional. they were even either noble savages or dimestore indians. he saw them as human beings and that's what native people today see in his pictures. >> brown: you talk about him coming to washington or new york a nationally famous figure and yet died penniless, relatively unknown, almost alone. >> he had lost his copyright to the house of morgan because the deeper they got into him the more
